The Jets have released veteran LB C.J. Mosley.
"It is hard to move on from a player like C.J. Mosley who has given everything of himself to an organization," said HC Aaron Glenn. "From everything we learned about C.J. – he is a passionate leader, who put the New York Jets first and got the most out of his teammates. We wish him and his family the best as he moves forward with his career."
Mosley (6-2, 231) was limited to four games last season after injuring his toe in a Week 2 contest at Tennessee and then sustaining a neck injury prior to the Jets' Week 8 game at New England.
Mosley, who signed with the Jets on March 15, 2019, played in 56 games for the Green & White from 2019-24 and amassed 504 tackles. After playing in only two games in 2019 and opting out of the 2020 season during the coronavirus pandemic, he finished with 168, 158 and 152 stops in 2021, '22 and '23, respectively.
"I want to thank C.J. for his leadership and countless contributions to the New York Jets," said GM Darren Mougey. "C.J. is a consummate professional and consistently held in the highest regard, both in our building and around the NFL. I wish him and his family all the best moving forward."
An Alabama product who was the No. 17 overall selection by Baltimore in the 2014 NFL Draft, Mosley played 77 games with the Ravens and totaled 563 tackles, 9 INTs, 8.6 sacks, 6 FF and 6 FR. Over 133 career games, Mosley's career stats include 1,083 tackles (687 solo), 55 TFL, 12 sacks and 9 FR.
"C.J. was the epitome of a class act as a teammate, player, and leader for the last six seasons," said Chairman Robert Wood Johnson. "The passion and commitment he brought each day to the organization inspired his teammates to give their all. We sincerely thank C.J. for his countless sacrifices and dedication, and wish him all the best moving forward."
